Study Objective: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) is a rescue therapy for selected patients when conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) fails. Current evidence suggests that the success of eCPR depends on well-structured in- and out-of-hospital protocols. This article describes the Vienna eCPR program, and the interventions implemented to improve clinical processes and patient outcomes.

Background And Objective: Lung cancer recurrence after complete surgical resection of early-stage T1-T2N0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a problem due to unrecognized micrometastatic disease. The objective of this review is to present and summarize data from major randomized trials in which have studied the survival benefit of adjuvant therapy for early-stage NSCLC.

Methods: Information used to write this paper was collected from PubMed and the National Clinical Trial registry from the National Library of Medicine.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous disease, with MM patients experiencing different clinical outcomes depending on the disease's biological features. Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of MM have led to the introduction of sophisticated drugs, which dramatically improved patient treatment and survival. To date, young patients with newly diagnosed MM could experience a median overall survival (OS) of 10 years.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combining monoclonal antibodies with cytotoxic payloads are a rapidly emerging class of immune-based therapeutics with the potential to improve the treatment of cancer, including children with relapse/refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). CD123, the α subunit of the interleukin-3 receptor, is overexpressed in ALL and is a potential therapeutic target. Here, we show that pivekimab sunirine (PVEK), a recently developed ADC comprising the CD123-targeting antibody, G4723A, and the cytotoxic payload, DGN549, was highly effective in vivo against a large panel of pediatric ALL patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models ( = 39).

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a potently immunosuppressive protein that inhibits antitumor immunity through both tryptophan metabolism and non-enzymatic functions. Pharmacological therapies targeting IDO1 enzyme activity have generally failed to improve the overall survival of patients with cancer. Developing new therapeutic agents that are capable of neutralizing both enzyme-and non-enzyme-derived immunosuppressive IDO1 effects is therefore of high interest.
